Honorable Mayor:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of a sample proclamation in celebration.
of "National Disability Employment Awareness Month", designated for the
month of October 1990.
The Congress of the United States by joint resolution approved August 11,
1945 as amended (36U.S.C.155) has called for the designation of the month
of October as "National Disability' Employment Awaren'ess Month". Each year \
since then, State employment agencies have actively participated in the
celebration.
The purpose of this campaign is to inform and remind employers and the public
of the benefits to be gained by hiring disabled persons. The campaign also
seeks to inform disabled job seekers of the year-round assistance available
through local Job Service of Florida offices.
The Job Service of Florida in an effort to increase and improve employment
opportunities is working to overcome employer reluctance to hiring handicapped
job seekers. Employers are being asked to remember that disabled persons
represent a valuable resource.
Your support of this activity would be greatly appreciated. A proclamation
declaring the month of October as "National Disability Employment Awareness
Month" and urging the hiring of these capable persons in your community
would be beneficial to all concerned.
Thank you for your help and concern.
